Get the right balance of brown and green composting materials in your bin with our expert guide.
All paper coffee filters are fully compostable and biodegradable, and if you want to be extra eco-friendly you can opt for brown unbleached paper filters which compost even more efficiently than white coffee filters.
However, if you don't have access to a compost bin, you can simply throw your used coffee filters in the trash.
They will still break down eventually, although it will take longer than if you composted them.
